The Betts Trim Gim Yellow/Black Size 8 is a cork-body popper built to stir up topwater action on shallow flats and around structure. The bullet-shaped profile combined with flexible rubber legs generates the kind of commotion that draws aggressive strikes from bass, pike, and other predators hunting near the surface. Tied on a Mustad hook and designed in high-visibility yellow and black, this popper punches above its weight for a small fly that covers a lot of water.
Pop this one near grass lines, downed timber, or spring holes where feeding fish cruise. The rubber legs work independently as the fly moves, creating lifelike movement even on a steady strip. The cork construction floats reliably and takes the beating that topwater fishing demands. At Size 8, it's a balanced choice for fly rods in the 6- to 8-weight range and works in both freshwater lakes and rivers where popper fishing produces results.
Whether you're chasing panfish on a summer evening or testing the shallows for larger quarry, the Trim Gim earns a spot in any topwater fly box. The yellow/black combo is easy to track on the water and visible to fish even in low light.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fly rod weight works best with a Size 8 popper?
The Betts Trim Gim Size 8 is well-suited to 6- to 8-weight fly rods, which provide enough backbone to load the rod and deliver distance while maintaining control on the strip.
Will this popper float?
Yes. The cork body is designed to float, making it a true topwater popper that sits on the surface and can be worked with a pop-and-pause retrieve.
What fish species will take this fly?
The Trim Gim works on any shallow-water predator attracted to topwater commotion, including bass, pike, and panfish. The yellow/black pattern and lifelike leg movement are effective across freshwater environments.
Can I use this popper in both rivers and lakes?
Yes. The Size 8 design and cork flotation make it versatile enough for both lake flats and river shallows where topwater fishing produces strikes.
